It’s a quote from the same gravedigger scene, where Hamlet finds the skull of someone he knew. The court jester, who represents the inevitability of death, the futility of our actions. Because no matter how happy we are in life, we end the same way. It’s the point of no return in Hamlet’s spiritual journey, for he can no longer make sense of his existence. A shiver runs through me. Nihilism, then. That’s the meaning of the grand parties. The belief that nothing matters, for whether someone is good or evil, happy or sad, rich or poor, they will turn to dust in the end. So there’s no reason to strive, to struggle. No reason to worry about rules or safety. No reason to give a damn.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” –Shakespeare, Hamlet, act 1, scene 5
